“Central Bedfordshire Council is undertaking a Request for Information (RFI) to inform the future commissioning of a Social Isolation and Loneliness Service. The purpose of this RFI is to engage with the market, gather information on potential service delivery models, and understand supplier capability and innovation. The proposed service will support adults experiencing loneliness, social isolation, or reduced community engagement through outreach, befriending, signposting, wellbeing activities, and community-based interventions. The service aims to improve social connectedness, enhance wellbeing, increase access to local support and services, and enable individuals to live independently within their communities. This RFI does not constitute a call for competition and is intended solely to inform future procurement activity.”
